Been having this issue for the longest time now in ZE. At random points my game will start freezing up, mostly happens when the server has a lot of players on it.

See gif below how it looks like. The UI dissapears and I just get this laglike freeze.
Did some googling some time before but didn't find anything that helped, wanted to try my luck here.

Help is appreciated^^
 
I oftenly meet internet cuts, and when it happens everything just stops, nothing move anymore. However on your gif, everything on your screen is shaking, so from my personal experience i don't think the problem comes from your internet.

Your packets are hanging, most likely your connection is spiking up in terms of latency. On the worst case... well, could be a graphics issue, but that's VERY far fetched.
 
Uhhh yes I will do that because nothing really helps me, I highly doubt its my SSD.
 
It s not just the freezing, voice chat also stutters and will possibly lead up to these freezes I am having. Maybe this info and video can give you a better idea what the problem could be?

Video where it happens:
It actually fixed itself right after I stopped the video

Definitely not the SSD.
Seems very odd, tho. Have you tried verifying the game files?

yes, this issue is present even when I reinstalled Windows, changed SSD's,..
I can literally only play when the server has 30-40 people, any more and the game becomes too shitty of an experience to play (voice chat lag, ingame chat lag, UI dissapearing,...)

like wtf
 
i have the same thing, i lag and freeze for 2 seconds whenever someone join or someone use the mic (for the first time after joining) and its annoying as hell

A simple "if no success, proceed to next point":
  • Post your specs.
  • Use HWINFO to check processor and graphics card temperatures.
  • If not on a wired connection, try a wired connection.
  • Reinstall Network Drivers.
  • Reinstall COMPLETELY the game (that includes every single file, including common and cloud).
  • Reinstall Steam.
  • Reinstall Windows.
  • Switch to Linux.
  • Commit sudoku.

id rather lag till i die lmao
 
Nothing worked so far,

if someone find me a solution I will give them 2 csgo case keys (€ 4,50 steam market value)

Things I tried so far: changing SSD's, present on new windows 10 installation, changing compability to windows 7, verifying game files, several console commands.
 
If it is possible for you, try to play on a full server on another internet connexion with the same computer.

I very very vaguely remember having such weird packet loss/lags when my connexion became shitty for absolutly no reason. I think the cause was a dying modem. Voice chat lags, chat lag...

Does it happen in other (MMO) videogames? Does it happen on youtube with >720p quality? Does it happen on streaming websites such as Twitch ?
Does it happen at any hour or does it happen only at some point in the day?
